Word origin
"Anreise" is formed from "an-" and "Reise"; the prefix adds the idea of reaching or approaching a destination to the general noun for travel.
Usage tips
- "Anreise" refers specifically to the outward leg, while travel away from the destination is called "Abreise"; English "trip" does not mark this contrast by itself.
